Erm, I don't think an article in the Australian coutns as a source for confirmation of his directorship. If there is something better out there, please include that. Google doesn't help... Thanks, 138 09:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Director?

This? From Crikey.... Joshua Frydenberg not only lost badly on Sunday, his detractors are singing like a Greek chorus. Said one: he lost ten votes when he had to admit there was glitch on his CV. Must have been a typo. He clarified it by saying he had been a director of a section of Deutsche Bank's section of global trading, not actually a director of the bank. So which is it?

The article says he is "Director of Global Corporate Finance with Deutsche Bank in the company's Melbourne office", and is cited. This is the first of the options you speak of. Harr o5 23:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Crikey comment refers to him being director of a SECTION of a SECTION of global trading. What is his position and how do we verify? 138 04:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The onus here has to be on someone to disprove The Australian, which has the most reliable information presented thus far. The article makes it clear that he is the director of global banking at the Melbourne office, which seems to fulfil your "SECTION of a SECTION" description. Harr o5 04:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the onus is on whoever made the original entry. A verifiable source is necessary as his position at Deutsche has been a point of controversy. Ahh well.

I just need you to please explain why the quote in The Australian is to you an unacceptable source. This is a leading newspaper of record, which of course checks its own facts, thus I can't understand what the issue is. Harr o5 08:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A "newspaper of record", eh? Must be supremely trustworthy. The issue is that there were rumours that he padded his CV. This was after the Australian article. I'll leave it and doing some digging. cheers, 138 01:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Lying to the Australian public"

I have just removed an allegation that Frydenberg "lied to the Australian public" on Insiders on 19 February 2017. I've noticed that Councilscribe, who originally made that allegation, has on a number of occasions reverted edits removing that allegation. Let me point out that:

According to policy on biographies of living persons, "contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion". Wikipedia itself is not an adequate source as per WP:CIRCULAR.
The term "lie" is subjective and contentious, contrary to Councilscribe's edit comment (on 14 March 2017) that "a lie is a lie". A lie requires intent to deceive, not merely the articulation of inaccurate or incomplete information. Unless it can be demonstrated (with reference to a credible source) that any inaccuracy was intentional, an allegation of lying is inappropriate and potentially defamatory.
The passage that I deleted did not even specify which statement by Frydenberg is allegedly a lie. 101.164.172.90 (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Section 44

evidence would appear to suggest that his mother may have had Hungarian citizenship, with a valid passport, which would run contrary to "statelessness" claims. Timeoin (talk) 20:47, 3 November 2017 (UTC) Timeoin (talk) 20:47, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Noticed a lot of instances of vandalism here recently. Will likely apply for protection if it continues.

Created a new section for this. Will see what I can add to it. MaskedSinger (talk) 09:38, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
